Const. Janis Maclean is the
West Vancouver Police school ti-
aison officer. MacLean points out
that the hotline is not meant to be
a ‘‘snitch line.”’

“What we're trying 10 do is of-

youth,’* MucLean said.

Through her work at) West
Vancouver schools, MacLean says
she is finding teens to be fearful
and intimidated to the point where
young people do not press charges
or report incidents to the police
for fear of identification or
retaliation.

Cards bearing the hotline
numbers are being distributed to
students in Grade 7 to Grade 12.

kids are the silent: majority. The
Joud 5% are offering the intimi-
dation. We want to empower the
majority of the kids. We can take
back the streets if we do-it
together," she said.
